  • Apparatus and method for continuous microfolding of sheet materials
    Patent number: 9033857
    Abstract: A machine (10) and method for the continuous folding of sheet material (15) into difference three-dimensional patterns is featured. The innovative machine and method folds sheet material by force converging the sheet to a final stage that imparts a final fold or pattern. Unique programming allows for the change of convergence sequencing and change of materials. A plain die fold multiplier is placed before the final stage to double the number of folds in the sheet material and halve the height thereof.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MICROFOLDING SHEET MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20150045198
    Abstract: A folding machine for folding sheet material into microfolds. The folding machine has a first series of rollers that imparts longitudinal folds to the material. The machine has a second series of rollers where each succeeding roller has double the tessellations as the roller immediately before it. Moreover, the tessellation height of the second series diminishes by half which each succeeding roller. Material leaving the second series of rollers is then fed into a final set of rollers. The final set of rollers imparts a pattern geometry to the folded sheet material.
